Hero Shot

Self Portrait

I’m really into Michael Bay movies. And in every Michael Bay movie, you’ll see a shot where the camera rolls underneath the hero in a time of great need to form an image you see here. It cracks me up when I see it, but it’s still pretty cool.

So this is my attempt at this shot.

Hero Shot belongs to the following groups:

This is an excellent self-portrait Matthew!
Matthew Dawkins replied

Thank you Shannon. Took a few attempts to get it right but I’m satisfied.
Michael A. Mor...

Matthew Dawkins replied

Thank you Michael.

yep…i can see this in a bay movie too….fantastic
Matthew Dawkins replied

Thanks! I was going to do like 30 series of pictures and do the full 360 degree hero shot like Bay does, but didn’t have the time.
BAD-HARVEST

that would be cool…you know he likes his 360 shots….and always at dusk
Matthew Dawkins replied

Oh yeah. My favorite is the one from The Rock. It’s fantastic.
joanna77

great angle and shot of you!
Matthew Dawkins replied

Thanks! Wanted to re-create a Hero shot and I think I did pretty good.
Elizabeth Bravo

Awwwwww, but you are a hero…....I love this as your profile shot!!! VERY NICE SHOT!!! I want to do that….some how I don’t think it will be becoming for me though. Maybe I could try it with a nephew:)))) Gotta go, getting ready for a road trip….need some limes…...
Matthew Dawkins replied

Thanks Lizzy! I like it as my profile pic to. I think I’ll let i stick around for awhile. I’m telling you though, anybody can pull this off. I was going to make it a series of the full 360 shot that Michael Bay usually does but I didn’t have time to complete it. And I’m sure it would be much easier with someone to pose for you.
Laurie Search

Matthew Dawkins replied

Yeah you don;’t really need to be. Thank you so much though! One of the cooler shots I’ve done I think.

Matthew Dawkins replied

LOL. Could be tough to follow without the dialogue though. Might be best to just rent the movie.
